well if he had called in the past week or so and it wasn't booked, that would save me a call. dolt.

Taking it the weekend of the 23rd of June at Blueridge. IIRC the Cville one was already past that weekend when I called, although I could be wrong.

On a kind of a side note (sorry to hijack mike), I had originally thought that I would pick up an old bike soon after taking the MSF class. However, at this point in time im not sure how feasible that will be because of certain factors that I cant control. So, I guess my question is, would the things you learn as to riding a motorcycle from the MSF class stick with you for a while regardless of whether you start riding after the course? I have no riding experience, and at this point it looks like it may be a good year and a half or so until I can actually own a bike. Im going to still take the class just for the learning part (and probably go get my license afterwards), but this question has been lingering arround in my mind for a few weeks. Obviously if things work out this wont matter, but I would like to think its not pointless to take the class now (if i would just need to take it later as well).

i would think riding a motorcycle is kinda like riding a bike.. go figure, eh?
so yeah, the skills should be retained...

It took me almost a year to get a road bike after taking the MSF course. I retained quite a bit in that time.

I had 0 riding experience when i went to the MSF. I recommend not knowing anything so you don't create any bad habits. If you've riden a bicycle before you'll be fine. The lessons will have a delayed effect so you'll need to start off cautious if you wait a year, but getting on and practice and you'll be fine.
Hope to have more riders!
